Which Stevenson screen do you have?
I've just bought a cheap Chinese 'solar radiation shield' from Aliexpress to house my heat pump's external temp sensor and mitigate solar gain, but it cost £5 and likely of dubious quality...
ectoplasmosis-
It's one of these:
https://amzn.eu/d/1hwjXYnQuality is decent as you'd expect for a German company and it works well, although isn't totally oblivious to direct hot sun (I think you'd need a much bigger one for that).
I got it from Amazon Warehouse which looks like it's still an option and was a lot cheaper.

Slow to the temperature sensor chat, but I bought one of these and it kept dropping the connection then stopped sending data at all. I returned it so maybe I just got a bad one.
I'm currently using an Aqara temperature and humidity sensor connected to Home Assistant with ZigBee via a ConBee II with an IKEA Trådfri signal booster, because the sensor is in a Stevenson screen on our shed and my Raspberry Pi is under the eaves at the front of our house.
I've used the Aqara sensor for ages (it was under the eaves before, so no booster required) and highly recommend this setup, I'm got an Aqara switch too and will add more sensors when I get round to it.
